Mapping Our Way

Have you ever wondered what the average career looks like?
Have you been curious about how someone went from wanting to be a firefighter or politician while at school to being a technician on film sets or an Astronomer?
What about how to navigate times of career uncertainty or change? In this exhibition Amelia has mapped the career journey of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) professionals. By applying her mapping skills to careers she has found a way to visualise the complexity of professional lives, and hopes to inspire others to document their own career journeys, or dreams, in more creative ways.
Through this adventure, Amelia has found that careers are almost never linear, aren’t at all covered by what goes on your CV and certainly isn’t just what you’re paid for!
